8. Enter new practitioner details making sure to enter all sections marked with a red asterisks (*). Click Add.

N.B. – If practitioner doesn’t have a unique email to enter under Practitioner Invite Email, this step can be skipped. This will mean that the practitioner will not receive an email link to complete sign up and the Practice Manger will need to complete that step for them through their Launchpad. This will also mean that, for those practitioners, the MEDrefer Manager app will need to be signed in under the Practice Manager not the practitioner.

You will see the list of practitioners and the details entered appear on the right as you click Add. Once all the practitioners have been entered, click Continue.

9. The created practitioners will be listed under the appropriate heading depending on what practitioner type was selected for them.
